Please Add HQ items display/count Crafting/Gathering

[Wobble]

I posted this in the quality of life and it got buried by other comments on other things being discussed so I thought I would make a thread for it. I would love it if they could add a count so we see how many items we have of HQ like they have for the NQ when harvesting or crafting it would be nice to see this so I don't have to mentally keep track or keep opening my items menu to check.

This is a good suggestion, would be helpful for sure.

Would be a big help when trying to mine a certain number of HQ items.

Bump I love this idea especially for job quests where you need a specific number of HQ items

You could always add the HQ item to your hotbar to keep an eye on how many you have. I do this for gathering unspoiled items as well as fleece/tufts when on a battle class.

Since when you put the item on your hotbar it will show you the total you have it won't stop at 99 but rather tell you your exact total on your hotbar.

That's a nice work around but I would rather it be something automatic like in the photo. Now for farming items the hotbar would be great since there is no pop up box.

Hello,

We've been seeing requests to display the number of HQ items you possess similar to how the NQ items are displayed when crafting or gathering items. Below is a comment by Hiroshi Minagawa about addressing this.

*I wrote the following extremely quickly to keep it short. Apologies.

I believe that the display that was added to the latest development version of the game should cover these requests for HQ display.

Problem
In order to confirm the amount of items you possess when crafting or gathering, you have to check from the number shown in the item details, and it's not possible to check how many HQ items you have. Due to this, you have to open up your inventory and look for your HQ items, which can be hard to locate sometimes.

What needs to be done
We'd like to make it easy to check how many HQ and NQ crafting/gathering items you possess.

Solution #1
Display the individual number of NQ and HQ items for the item you have selected in each log.
→Remaining problem: You will have to search through your inventory to see the stats of HQ items.

Solution #2
Display the number of NQ and HQ items you possess in the item details.
→Remaining problem: Same as plan #1

Solution #3
Display both an icon that displays NQ item details as well as an icon that displays HQ item details in the crafting and gathering window.
→Remaining problem: Unless you hover over the icon, you won't be able to tell how many NQ or HQ items you have.

Amongst these solutions, we've already addressed #1 in the latest development version of the game.


The above is a recent snapshot. We've added displays for the number of items you possess and the number of items you can craft. (Translation note: On the left "所持数" refers to the number of each item you posses. On the right "製作可能数" refers to the number of items you can craft.)

Originally we had looked into trying to display a list in the crafting window's center portion, but the stress for applying this process for the 400 slots of inventory space was unexpectedly large, and we addressed it with the current system that shows the number of items you are currently focused on.

Next, solution #2 has the remaining problem where you cannot check the stats of the HQ item, so we decided to prioritize solution #3. As there other a lot of other UI aspects that have priority for implementation, we are currently unable to work on this at the moment. However, we will be working on the gathering UI and fishing UI sequentially.

The one aspect that I can guarantee will be implemented in patch 2.1 is the display shown in the snapshot above, which is solution #1.

Ultimately the order we address this will be as follows: solution #1 (already completed), solution #3 (unimplemented as of yet), solution #2 (currently looking into a method that does not have place a lot of stress on the system).

So friggin awesome. Finally, I'll be able to tell what I have of something. This has been annoying me with both cotton and velveteen most of all (for one they're separate from their "yarn" parts by several items and two, typically the previous type of material follows after the new one before any recipe that uses the new material shows up).

So I really can't wait. ^.^

Perhaps I'm just dense, but I'm not seeing how the "solution" addresses the issue raised in the OP. The "solution" above shows a crafting screenshot; the OP asked about harvesting.

When I am out in the field, I encounter two problems with collection feedback (aside from the absolutely dreadful "sorting" issues):

1) The pop-up tells me only how many of the resource I have ON HAND with me out in the field -- it doesn't tell me how many I have on my retainer(s). And, since I have no access my Retainers' inventories (why can't I at the very least browse their inventories?), there is no way for me to find out this information without stopping what I'm doing and running back to the Retainer(s). Highly inefficient use of time.

2) The pop-up only lets me how many NQ resources I have on hand with me out in the field. In order to know how many HQ I have, I have to slog through all the pages of inventory until I happen to find the item for which I'm looking.

I wholeheartedly back the suggestion proposed by the OP. Make the pop-up show both NQ and HQ. To make it even better, include lines to show what is in stock on my Retainer(s). I can't think of any reason why this wasn't included from the beginning.

[ZohnoReecho]

Of course I don't know how the client is built but from a third-point view it doesn't look too stressing to add a second icon to display the HQ result, there are already so many for the ingredients :/

And yeah, this doesn't cover gathering, at least based on what was shown in the screenshot.
